Abby Huntsman said when she sees the images on TV of the people coming here, “it’s heartbreaking,” and that her approach is always “humanity first.”

McCain agreed but argued that we are “a nation of laws and borders” with “proper legal channels” that need to be adhered to.

“We’re also a nation of laws.We’re a nation of laws andborders which is part of myproblem with the way some ofthis is being spun,” the co-host shared. “We all — this is a nation ofimmigrants, obviously.”

“Through proper legalchannels,” she added. “So, when you see these images, thisis a conservative fever dreamand a gift to the mid-termelections because this isexactly what conservatives thinkpeople on the left want to havehappen into this country.”

McCain continued, “What a lot of people on the leftare saying, no one on thistable, is that you want openborders and no consequences whatsoever.”

Sunny Hostin then said she wished people on “the right would tell the truth about” what’s happening in immigration.

“Did you just accuse me of nottelling the truth?” McCain intejected. Hostin then replied that no she meant “people on the right.” And Joy Behar added that they meant the “extreme right.”

“I’m more extreme on thisissue than I think people realize,” McCain explained. “I come from a border state. And when you hear stories likeKathryn Steinle who was shot andkilled by an immigrant who was in SanFrancisco which is one of thestates where you can go if thereare no…she was shot and killed, sanctuarycities, thank you.”
